Abstract

The present invention provides a nail guider including a guiding board, at least an assisting member. The guiding board positioned in front of the nail track vertically has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface faces the nail track. The guiding board has at least a vertical penetrating slot thereon. The penetrating slot penetrates the first surface and the second surface of the guiding board. The assisting member includes an assisting end and a pushing end, slides forwardly and backwardly in the penetrating slot. The assisting end protrudes out of the first surface selectively, and the pushing end is located at the second surface. The assisting member used for straightening up nails further comprises at least an assisting surface parallel to the nailing track. The pushing end can be pushed so that the assisting surface can assist and straighten up nails.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A nail guider, used for being disposed in a nailing device with a nail track and positioned in front of the nail track, the nail guider comprising:
 a guiding board, positioned in front of the nail track vertically, having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being opposite to the second surface, the first surface facing the nail track, the guiding board having at least a vertical penetrating slot thereon, the penetrating slot penetrating the first surface and the second surface of the guiding board; 
 at least an assisting member, the assisting member corresponding to the penetrating slot, the assisting member being inserted in the penetrating slot, the assisting member can slide forwardly and backwardly in the penetrating slot, the assisting member having an assisting end and a pushing end, the assisting end protruding out of the first surface selectively, the pushing end being located at the second surface, the assisting member further comprising at least an assisting surface, the assisting surface being parallel to the nailing track, the assisting surface being used for straightening up nails; and 
 a pushing means for pushing the pushing end elastically, for causing the assisting end having a tendency of protruding out of the first surface; 
 wherein the penetrating slot has an upper flat guiding face and a lower flat guiding face opposite to each other, the assisting end has an upper flat guided face, a lower flat guided face opposite to the upper flat guided face and a stopping face extending upwardly from the upper flat guided face, the assisting end is normally located within the penetrating slot, the upper and lower flat guided faces are closely parallel and correspond respectively to the upper and lower flat guiding faces, the stopping face abuttably faces the second surface of the guiding board, the assisting end moves linearly along and through the penetrating slot and is stopped when the stopping face abuts against the second surface. 
 
     
     
       2. The nail guider of  claim 1 , wherein the assisting member further comprises at least two spaced legs at the pushing end and recesses formed adjacent to the at least two legs, the pushing means comprises at least two springs correspondingly disposed respectively around the two legs and into the recesses, the two springs are horizontally positioned and vertically arranged to push the assisting member. 
     
     
       3. The nail guider of  claim 1 , wherein the assisting member further comprises a stopping portion, the stopping portion is provided with the stopping face, the stopping portion is located beyond a contour of the penetrating slot, the stopping face abuts against the guiding board to reach an effect of limiting a position of the assisting member, making the assisting member protrude out of the first surface correctly and preventing the assisting member from completely sliding out of the penetrating slot when the assisting end protrudes out from the first surface. 
     
     
       4. The nail guider of  claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the guiding board has a guiding slot extending vertically, the guiding slot is used for guiding a striking board or a nail sliding vertically along the guiding slot. 
     
     
       5. The nail guider of  claim 1 , wherein the assisting member further comprises at least two spaced legs at the pushing end and recesses formed adjacent to the at least two legs, the pushing means comprises at least two springs correspondingly disposed respectively around the two legs and into the recesses, the two springs are horizontally positioned and vertically arranged to push the assisting member, and the assisting member is limitedly retractably held only by the guiding board and the two springs without any other connection which is limitedly connected to the assisting member and a fixation board of the nailing device. 
     
     
       6. A nailing device, comprising the nail guider of  claim 1 , the nail track, a striking board and a shell, wherein the nail guider, the nail track, and the striking board is disposed in the shell, the nail track has an extending direction, the nail track is used for supporting the nail to lead the nail moving along the extending direction, the striking board is used for striking the nail out selectively. 
     
     
       7. The nailing device of  claim 6 , wherein the striking board can move upwardly and downwardly along the first surface of the guiding board, the striking board has an inner surface facing the first surface of the guiding board, the inner surface has at least a sinking slot corresponding to the assisting member, the assisting end is located in the sinking slot when the assisting end protrudes out of the first surface. 
     
     
       8. The nailing device of  claim 6 , wherein the pushing means comprises at least two springs corresponding to the assisting member, the two springs are horizontally positioned and vertically arranged to push the assisting member. 
     
     
       9. The nailing device of  claim 6 , wherein the assisting member further comprises a stopping portion, the stopping portion is provided with the stopping face, the stopping portion is located beyond a contour of the penetrating slot, the stopping portion abuts against the guiding board to reach an effect of limiting a position of the assisting member, making the assisting member protrude out of the first surface correctly and preventing the assisting member from completely sliding out of the penetrating slot when the assisting end protrudes out from the first surface. 
     
     
       10. The nailing device of  claim 6 , wherein the first surface of the guiding board has a guiding slot extending vertically, the guiding slot is used for guiding a striking board sliding vertically along the guiding slot.
